A mobile radio communications method that prevents a calling user from
being billed for an expensive overseas call, which the user could make
without knowing that the destination mobile terminal is currently roaming
abroad. When a mobile terminal has moved from a first country to a second
country, its home mobile switch is informed of the new terminal location.
The home mobile switch consults this location information when a call
request to the roaming mobile terminal is placed by another mobile
terminal, so as to determine in which country the destination is. If it
turns out to be in the second country, the home mobile switch so notifies
the calling mobile terminal by sending an overseas destination notice to
it. This notice warns the calling user that he/she is making eventually
an international call, thus allowing him/her to reconsider whether to
proceed with the call request or cancel it.
